What does King of Seduction smell like?
Green apple and melon join the top, so the first impression is juicy and bright. In the heart, neroli, marine notes, jasmine and cardamom keep the aquatic feel going. The base of vetiver, cedar, suede, white musk and amber softens the scent and adds a touch of sweetness, with a synthetic sheen running through the accords.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the vote counts are small, so those ratings are tentative. It is positioned as a men's fragrance, and voters rate its value for money well. Banderas Blue Seduction for Men and Nautica Nautica Blue have a close profile.
